  Bradfields Academy

  Sept 2012 - Jan 2018

  At Bradfields Academy I developed the social media strategies for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.Furthermore, I also managed the Bradfields Academy website. In this role, I worked closely with the Principal and other Senior & Middle Leaders to ensure that the websites are easy to use, but still, have the information required in official Government guidelines.Moreover, I also repaired, built computer systems, and assisted the Network Manager in managing the network systems and structures around the academy. I am knowledgeable in VMWare for virtualisation of servers, using Apple Configurator and Adobe Creative Cloud resources. عرض أقل After being a volunteer at Bradfields, I was offered the post of Teaching Assistant. This role was one of the catalysts in wanting to know more about why people do what they do, and their use of technologies. My day-to-day tasks were to assist the various teacher throughout the day, act a one-to-one for various students, which enabled learning for students that may have otherwise not accessed, or struggled in the class. Furthermore, on occasion, I was asked to assist in exams as a scribe or invigilator.During this time, I was also a part-time ICT Technician. This taught me the key skill of how to balance two different roles at the same time, and it also gave me the opportunity to experience both sides of the education system. عرض أقل
